Bug#487735: O: snooper -- Captures communication between two external serial devices
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of snooper, David Coe <davidc@debian.org>,
is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package
now. If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: Captures communication between two external serial devices
Snooper passes data transparently between two serial (RS232C)
devices, capturing and logging the data and occasional comments you
want to insert into the logs.
.
It is useful for debugging or analyzing the communications protocol
between two devices that would normally be connected directly to each
other, e.g. a digital camera and a personal computer. By sitting
"in the middle" (after you connect the two devices to serial ports
on your Linux machine) snooper is able to capture data traveling in
either direction while also passing it unmodified to the other device.
.
It is also possible to operate with a single serial device, using
your console and keyboard as the second device.
